The bladder is punctured by bone fragments, typically from an adjacent pelvic fracture. Managed conservatively.
CT CYSTOGRAM

•  The bladder is catheterised and drained prior to distension (i.e. 250-300 mL) with dilute (e.g. 5%-10% Omnipaque 350) contrast.
•  Look for leak of contrast from the lateral bladder base; leak may extend into the abdominal wall, thigh or scrotum.

URETHROGRAM
•  Check for urethral injury (common with extra-peritoneal rupture), usually posterior urethra.
